The Mirror's Dream

I  close my eyes and I see you. I see you walk into the room​ wearing a ​floral skirt ​which its ​flowers fall with each swirl. ​Your dark hair dances in the waves and stills as your ​stand in front of the mirror. Dipping your hand into the darkness of the waives, your pale fingers play around in your hair. You close your eyes and it feels​ as if they are my hand​s​ ​playing around with your dark waves​, playing and playing until they bring your eyes to the edges of dream.

​From beneath the curls of ​eyelashes, you look at me​, and I shiver.

You close your eyes and I am ready to ​sleep​. ​This half asleep reflection is beautiful.

You open your eyes​​ and the​ mirror​ ​stare​s​ at us.

When your pale fingers leave the dark ​waves of your hair​, I am gone.

The ring of ​your phones echoes in and out of your head.

Someone, maybe me, is calling your name from the depth​ of ​the ​mirror's dream.

You turn to the phone and I know that you wish that it was me.
